Mounting of store windows



of the glass may be secured independently of each other by screws or other suitable means in such manner as to permit the insertion or removal of the glass from either side of the window frame. I

The outer strip 15 may be suitably formed at its top and outer side to shed the rain, while the top of the inner strip 16 is preferably concaved or channel shaped in cross for corresponding ventilating passages by means of which the air on opposite sides of the glass may in a measure become neutralized as regards pressure and temperature and thus tend to avoid breakage of the glass or the formation of frost thereon.

In construction the sheathing is composed of relatively thin metal and is closely drawn over and against the filler members, enclosing the latteron all side. faces in an un-- broken manner, and protecting the same against contact with water and air, and the consequent decay therefrom.

While I have shown and described the filler members as being formed with recesses prior to the application of the metal sheathing, it is to be understood that this method is adapted more particularly in situations requiring relatively hard filler members of extended length, and with deep recesses. And in other situations in which relatively soft wood may be used as a filler member, the metal sheathing may be directly drawn thereover and the necessary recesses formed by compressing the sheathing into the soft filler member. p

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to protectby Letters Patent of the United States is as follows:

l. Ina window, a sill, a; glass pane supported thereby, said pane being arranged to leave passages extending transversely thereunder, inner and outer retaining strips on said sill engaging opposite faces of said pane, the inner retaining strips being formed with anum-her of vertical recesses on the side thereof adjacent the pane, and the outer stripsbeing formed with a number of transversely' extending recesses on its under side.

2. In a window, a sill, a glass pane suported thereby, said pane being arranged to cave passages extending transversely thereunder,- a t n ng trip moun ed 0. the

sill andengaging the said pane, said strip cal passages. comn'iunicating with the said, transverse passages and said strips co1npr1s ing a wooden filler and a metal sheathing, the metal sheathing extending continuous and unbroken along the said recesses.

In a'window, a sill, a glass pane supported thereby, said pane being arranged to leave passages extending transversely thereunder, a retaining strip'mounted on the sill and engaging the said pane, said strip being recessed at points along the side there of which engages the pane to provide vertical passages communicating with the said transverse passages.

4. In a window, a sill, a glass pane supported thereby, said pane being arranged to leave passages extending transversely thereunder, a retaining strip mounted on the sill and engaging the said pane, said strip being recessed at points along the side there'- of which engages the pane to provide verticalpassages, said strips comprising a wooden filler and a metal sheathing, the metal sheathing extending continuous and unbroken along the strip.

- 5. In a window, a sill, a glass pane supported thereby, said pane being arranged to leave passages extending transversely thereunder, a retaining strip mounted on the sill and engaging the said pane, said strip having a longitudinal channel formed in the top thereof, and'being recessed at points along the side thereof which engages the pane to provide vertical passages, said passages communicating at one side with the bottom of said channel. v

6. In a window, a sill, a glass pane supv ported thereby, said pane being arranged to leave passages extending transversely thereunder, a retaining strip mounted on the sill and engaging the said pane, said strip having a longitudinal channel formed in the top thereof, and being recessed at points along the side thereof'which engages the pane to provide vertical passages, said passages communicating at one side with the bottom of said channel, said strips comprising a wooden filler formed with recesses along one side and a metal sheathing extend ing unbroken along the filler strips and pressed into the said recesses.

7. In a window, a sill, a glass pane supported thereby, and a retaining strip engag ing said pane and comprising a fi1ler'mem ber formed with a number of recesses along one side thereof, and a metal sheathing extending unbroken along the filler member and pressed into said recesses.

"8. In awindow setting, a'retaining strip comprising a .filler member formed with a transverse recess along a side thereof, and a etal hea h ng tend ng nbr ken ov r he filler member and pressed into said recess and against the Walls thereof.

9. In a Window setting, a retaining stripfiller member and pressed into said recesses and against the Walls thereof.

10. In a Window setting, a retaining strip 10 comprising a filler member having a metal sheathing extending unbroken and enclosing said member on all side faces thereof the said sheathing being pressed into said filler member and forming transverse recesses extending along a side of the stri Signed at New York, in the county of ew York and State of New York, this 15th day 7 of March, A.
